A key Manchester City star has become the main target for Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli, according to a report.
Kyle Walker, 34, is reportedly available for around £20 million.
The City stalwart has won six Premier League titles and one Champions League since joining City in 2017 and has two years left on his contract, which he extended last season.
In the summer it was reported that Walker would consider a move to Saudi Arabia once his time at City is up, although Mail Sport understands he was happy to stay there.
Al-Ahli want to make him their fifth former Premier League star and say they have prioritized his pursuit The sun.

And City are likely to be willing to let the England star leave due to the emergence of Rico Lewis, their 19-year-old youth product, the outlet claims.
A move to Al-Ahli would see Walker join £40m summer signing Ivan Toney, as well as Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and Edouard Mendy.
They are sixth in the Saudi Pro League, having finished a distant third last season.
Walker revealed in January that he was tempted to join Bayern Munich after verbally agreeing to a £15million transfer.
He ultimately decided against the move because he wanted to be with his children, but admitted he wanted to escape the controversy surrounding his personal life.
Walker considered transferring to Germany after his wife of two years, Annie Kilner, announced they were splitting and he moved out of their £2.4 million family home.
News of their divorce came shortly after Walker was named as the father of influencer Lauryn Goodman’s five-month-old daughter, Kinara.
MailOnline exclusively revealed this month that Kilner has served the England footballer with divorce papers because she ‘simply cannot forgive him for what he did to her’.

The 31-year-old mother-of-four has told lawyers to launch legal proceedings as she prepares to fight for half of the Manchester City defender’s £27million fortune.
MailOnline understands Walker has moved back into their family home in Cheshire, although he is staying in his own bedroom. A source revealed that he and Kilner have “barely spoken.”
